The latest from SuperMondays

This month we had two excellent speakers, Michael Peacock and Jamie Curle.

Jamie spoke energetically about django, a framework for python. Through interesting stories, jokes and code examples he handed over nuggets of helpful information on how to setup, develop and deploy django based apps. You can download his slides here:

David also put together a Google Doc with links to some tools which might be a good starting point for people wanting to have a play with creating stuff from their own data which can be found here:
